Microsoft Support Call Scam

Fake Microsoft Support call Scammer

On July 22, 2013, A Indian Person called me claiming he's an, 'microsoft employee.'
Here' the video that I've recorded and put up on youtube -


What happened:
Hi everyone. Today I answered a phone number (out of area, no name available). The person said he was a 'microsoft tech support' so i went along with the conversation. I knew this was a scam because my grandpa recently got a call from them aswell. (And so did malwarebytes, a person was trolling them)

So i was agreeing and following each n every step what the tech said to do.

First he said to download ammyy program, but i said it won't run on my computer - as a lie - and he said ok, let's download teamviewer - i've already had it downloaded - So i pretended i downloaded it and it took for ever, and he said yes, the computer is badly infected. when he said that, i figured that he'll do something bad to my pc, so i changed teamviewer's control settings to none for the other user who can or can't control my pc, but in this case, he couldn't control it at all - without my permission -.

He connected and he said he couldn't click on anything and i said yes you can, try it. So he clicked on computer - but he didn't really - so i clicked on it for him. Then he said go to run - type in event viewer - and logs from events popped up. Then he said go to filter the logs to critical, etc. So i did that and it had 6k+ logs and he said omg, you're infected!

and he said k, next we need to do, wait, i need to control your pc, can you download showmypc.com's program? and i said nty, so i ended the call and started to call him out.

This shows how bad they're doing this, system event viewer is a program that shows the logs of what happens on your pc. Example: if something fails to start or if something crashes.

Do not fall for this, and if you do, you might be paying 200$$+ or your computer will be messed up.
